Beginning in 2012, the Employer One survey has been conducted in various locations in Ontario. The goal of the survey is to better understand labour market demand and workforce development activity locally.
In 2019 the local Boards in the eastern region (Eastern Ontario Training Board, Ottawa Employment Hub, Labour Market Group Renfrew Lanark, Eastern Workforce Innovation Board, Centre for Workforce Development, Workforce Development Board) collaborated to implement a common Employer One survey to be distributed in December 2020/January 2021.
The Employer One survey has been helping employers and economic developers to better understand aspects of the local labour market including churn, positions that are difficult to fill, and employers’ use of workforce development programs on a local level.
The survey sample size will generate a 95% confidence level, which will benefit the following six types of eastern Ontario employers.
The more respondents there are, the more accurate the results will be.
The resulting information about labour market demand, workforce development and skills gaps will be essential in the planning and delivery of economic development programs in 2021 and beyond to make living and working here better than ever.
